Instagram Stories Already Count More Users Than Snapchat

Only eight months after its launch, Instagram Stories already counts more daily active users than Snapchat, its rival (and inspiration)!

Instagram Stories launched in August 2016. By October it already had 100 million DAUs, 150 million in January 2017. And there is no sign of its growth slowing down as the feature now counts over 200 million daily active users this month.

But more importably, with 200 million DAUs, Instagram Stories is now bigger than Snapchat and its 161 million daily active users (as announced during its IPO last month.)
